I have just gotten back to using SQL Compare again after changing jobs.

I have noticed that the Interactive Report generation has changed. Now I have to zip the report up to send it because of the image folder that is generated. It would be nice if there were an option in SQL Compare to have the image location changed to an intranet or internet location that you could specify in a configuration setting.

This would make it so you could just send out the .html file instead of zipping the whole thing up and relying on users to know how to unzip and display it correctly.

There has indeed been a change in the behaviour. We now create the images folder with the report, so that users without an internet connection can open the report.

If the images folder can't be found, it's supposed to try our website, but this doesn't work due to bug SC-4867.

As a workaround, you can either change the location where we look for the images in the generated .html report, or through the xsl template (in 'Program Files') used to generate the report. The former will only affect that instance of the report, the latter will affect all subsequent reports.

I'm sorry you see this as such a large problem but we have also had lots of problems with people who have restricted Internet access and also want to view the interactive report properly.

I had a check into this and the fix did work (the infamous "works on my machine") but I made triple-sure, deleted my cache and even monitored the web browser traffic with Fiddler to make sure the images were coming from our website and not the _images folder.

You do realize that if you change the .xsl that you have to generate the report again?
